My Last Words feat. Sergey
Me in the hospital rapping my last words.
I'm writing/rapping the Dumpster Manifesto -- reality from a different perspective.

I have been interested in Hip-Hop since 1995. My first album was Tupac Shakur's Me Against The World. I was only 11, but his music still managed to reach me.
I miss rap with a message. It seems everyone is a megalomaniac. So I'm doing my own thing. Hopefully people will give a sh*t.
Story behind the song
Got to thinking while working on the beat, what would I say if I had just a minute to say it?

Title: My Last Words
Artist: David Tansey feat. Sergey
Album: The American Dream
dialog between doctor and patient.
Doctor: How are you feeling today?
Patient: You don't have to lie to me.
Doctor: Excuse me?
Patient: You don't have to pretend like every thing's alright. I know I'm dying.
Doctor: Well the tests aren't done. We can't know anything, yet.
Patient: Doc, I know when I'm dying. I'd just like to know when.
Doctor: You're right. I'm sorry.
Patient: It's okay. Hey! You didn't kill me. Could I ask you a favor?
Doc: Certainly.
Patient: Could you take this down?
Doctor: Of course.
First to my mother. I hope she knows I do love her
Same to my father. Can't bother with the obvious
To my one sister, I'm sorry I mistreated her
When we were little kids I was really mean to her
But she's all grown, showing the world her stuff
Just glad I didn't defeat her ability to trust
I wanted kids, I guess that's not an option
But I'll live through my family. Can ghost's adopt?
I learned from my parents. Dad taught to grin and bare it
So I could live well. Maybe perfect; at least near it.
From my mother: how to question myself
Never stop growing, I create my own hell
Tell the world I'm sorry, not enough time together
But anyone I met, I'll love you forever
I don't bother hating. is it really worth it?
Even those who held my heart and those who hurt it
Everything I had to say I said at some time
Anyone who knew me knew I always spoke my mind
My heart will live on through those I left behind
I hope they shine, hope I was a worthwhile guide
Introspection is necessary, life gets a little scary
Be your own judge, the questions exercise your mind
A silent revolution, you keep on fighting
Preparing so you're ready, when the time is right
Doctor, please, tell 'em I thought of them too
If I had another breath, I'd tell them I love 'em
Just one more thing, please try to get this down
One more thing my man said, something profound:
Inside we are two people, one good one bad
Ff you live for yourself, then your heart is weak and problems are strong
If you live for good people: your mother, your wife, your children, your friends
If the world is for them, then your problems are weak and your heart is strong
The best advice I ever heard
Please tell him those were my last words.
